How companies actually get hacked!

What actually happens when you click on a malicious link or open that attachment? What about the debate that MacOS is more secure than for example Windows? I will in my presentation go through a MacOS Attack Chain by doing a live hacking session showing Userland rootkits, techniques for Userland phishing, obtaining root access, bypassing password manager and much more. I will also demystify how cyber criminals actually hack into organisations, and demonstrate these attacks.
